EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of national pride and tradition as two men hoist the Union Jack flag on the iconic Victoria Tower in London. Dating back to 1906, this image showcases the ceremonial raising of the flag, symbolizing unity and strength for the British Empire.
The Victoria Tower, part of the Houses of Parliament building, holds great historical significance as a symbol of royalty and government power. When the Sovereign is present in Parliament, the Royal Standard is flown atop this tower, making it a daily ritual to see either the Union Jack or Royal Standard floating high above.
In this particular snapshot from over a century ago, we witness a timeless tradition being carried out with precision and reverence. The meticulous process of hoisting the flag speaks to an era where attention to detail was paramount in every aspect of life.
As we gaze upon this photograph from 1906, we are transported back in time to an era where kings ruled and empires flourished. The sight of the Union Jack fluttering proudly against the backdrop of Victoria Tower serves as a poignant reminder of Britain's rich history and enduring legacy.
